Former head cheerleader Mary Ellen Kirkwood is back in town and she's in love. But is Pres just kidding when he asks her to marry him?

No one knows. But romance is in the air. Olivia can't even think about cheerleading, and for once, nasty Diana's schemes don't worry her. Patrick has some serious questions for Jessica, and Hope could be falling out of love with Peter, and in love with someone new. Before it is all over, there may be a cheerleader wedding...but no one is sure.

About the author

Caroline Cooney knew in sixth grade that she wanted to be a writer when "the best teacher I ever had in my life" made writing her main focus. "He used to rip off covers from The New Yorker and pass them around and make us write a short story on whichever cover we got. I started writing then and never stopped!"
When her children were young, Caroline started writing books for young people -- with remarkable results. She began to sell stories to Seventeen magazine and soon after began writing books. Suspense novels are her favorites to read and write. "In a suspense novel, you can count on action."
To keep her stories realistic, Caroline visits many schools outside of her area, learning more about teenagers all the time. She often organizes what she calls a "plotting game," in which students work together to create plots for stories. Caroline lives in Westbrook, Connecticut and when she's not writing she volunteers at a hospital, plays piano for the school musicals and daydreams!

I cannot believe that Pres and Mary Ellen actually get married in this one 😳

A fav of mine from my teen years. Does it hold up, not really, but nostalgia for the win! And I’m not breaking up with my copy which has occurred with other oldies but goody rereads.
